At the exit of the gathering place, quite a few people were still waiting outside, and the number had decreased rather than increased compared to before.
Gradually, people from further away began to converge towards the gathering place.
Su Changxing noticed that the bald man and others from before were no longer here; they might have already entered the gathering place.
Tan Xiuning was still outside, and his turn was about to come.
He saw Su Changxing walking out from inside, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile:
"Ha, Brother Su, I didn't expect you to be one of the people inside the gathering place. What are you up to?"
Su Changxing looked at this gentlemanly, somewhat fair-skinned middle-aged man and said, "It's too stuffy inside, so I'm going for a walk... your team has quite a few children."
In the group behind Tan Xiuning, there were four or five children around the age of ten, making the atmosphere lively, as it's in children's nature to be boisterous.
Tan Xiuning showed a helpless expression and said, "We happened to run into these kids. I was a teacher before, so I couldn't just leave them behind. Fortunately, the gathering place does take in children; otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do."
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "You guys are doing well. There are children inside the gathering place too. However, children also need to work. We hire child labor."
Tan Xiuning laughed and said, "Of course, they will learn to fend for themselves."
"Bang~"
Suddenly there was a commotion next to them.
"What are you doing."
A man fell to the ground, looking terrified at the hooded girl in front of him, who was smiling.
The dust on the ground was swept up as if a strong wind had blown through.
The people around had no idea what had just happened; they only saw the man suddenly fly out, as if there had been an explosion.
Su Changxing saw that the man wasn't injured and shouted, "Jin, let's go."
Jin extended her hand, wiggled her fingers, and waved goodbye to the man lying on the ground before following Su Changxing step by step away.
Looking at Jin striding in front, Su Changxing asked, "What happened just now? Did you blow him up with a hand grenade?"
Jin raised her hand and shook it, saying, "The hand grenade is still here."
So, it was some other method?
Su Changxing thought it over and sensed Jin's ability might be a form of simulation, simulating existing things to gain power.
This seems to require a very rich imagination.
Jin casually raised her left hand and shot, exploding a zombie's head in front of them, with a large amount of black blood sprinkling down from the sky.
Watching the zombies continuously falling, Su Changxing felt quite relaxed, though a bit bloody; this scene was truly not something just anyone could endure.
The two walked at a leisurely pace for more than ten minutes before reaching the target street, looking out at a dense mass of zombies.
This place was always outside the clearing range of the gathering, hence gathering many zombies.
Jin glanced at Su Changxing excitedly and said, "Is this the place? Let me show you the new hand grenade I made."
Su Changxing was also a bit curious and said, "Hmm, I'm watching."
He estimated that this hand grenade should be somewhat special.
Jin first shot and blasted a few zombies' heads, and the zombies on the street began to converge towards them.
Then she pulled the "ring" and threw the "hand grenade" far away with a flick of her wrist.
The zombies surged in streams, the noise rising and falling.
A brief silence.
"Boom~"
With a deafening sound, firelight exploded among the crowd of zombies, and the closer zombies were blown apart, while the further ones flew out.
A heatwave rushed over, and the clothes on their bodies fluttered in the wind.
Su Changxing was stunned on the spot; he hadn't expected this "hand grenade" to present the explosive effect of a real hand grenade, even with far greater power, covering nearly half the street.
Jin shouted excitedly, "Woohoo, it worked."
Su Changxing's face darkened as he saw zombies continuously falling from the buildings around them, and in the distance, the zombies were visibly gathering into an undead tide.
He immediately shouted, "Go."
Staying here sooner or later, they would be surrounded by the undead tide.
Jin also realized something was wrong. Firing as she followed Su Changxing to retreat, the surrounding zombies fell one after another.
From all directions, farther away, zombies were pouring in towards them.
"Boom~"
Another explosion, blowing a big hole in the stone street, clearing an area in the undead tide.
"Bang~, hahaha."
Jin laughed maniacally, a look of madness on her face, and her shooting pace quickened again.
Su Changxing swung widely, chopping down four or five zombies, and said with irritation, "Jin, stop throwing hand grenades, or there will only be more and more zombies."
"Boom~"
Just as he finished speaking, another hand grenade exploded among the zombies, and the airwaves danced in the sky.
"You spoke too late."
Jin's voice came from behind.
Su Changxing noticed they were nearly surrounded and realized something was wrong. He grabbed Jin by the waist, hoisting her onto his shoulder, and sprinted towards the nearby building.
Jin's body was light and resilient, and she could still keep up a shooting rhythm lying on Su Changxing's shoulder.
Su Changxing cut a zombie in half at the waist, shouting, "Clear the zombies by the building; I'll run through from here."
The zombies along the building route had their brains blown, creating a path of black blood.
Su Changxing stepped on the corpses, reached the wall, sidestepped to avoid falling zombies, pushed off with his left foot, and, using the sprinting momentum, flipped onto the second floor in one breath.
He kicked away the zombie standing by the window and put Jin down, saying, "Let's go to the roof."
Jin's few hand grenades seemed to have angered this Zombie World.
The zombies hadn't calmed due to the two going upstairs; instead, they surrounded the building tightly and were surging up the stairway.
There weren't many zombies in the stairway.
The two went all the way up, and Su Changxing kicked open the locked iron door of the rooftop. The lock flew to the wall and fell to the ground under the impact.
"Phew."
Su Changxing sighed in relief, thinking that on the rooftop, the number of zombies would be limited, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Jin stood outside the door, constantly "shooting" at the incoming zombies, splattering black blood on the walls, which slid down the stairs.
Soon, the rooftop stairway entrance filled with zombie corpses, both inside and out, blocking the doorway, making it difficult for zombies to get out.
Then, Su Changxing noticed they were attacking the surrounding walls with great force, hitting with full strength even if their limbs broke.
With multiple zombies attacking, cracks quickly appeared on the walls, and red light pierced through the walls into the hallway, illuminating the ferocious faces of the zombies.
"Bang~"
A wall on one side suddenly burst open with a large hole, and some zombies poured out from it.
